Problem with Mumudvb - frozen broadcasting

[Unit]

Hello. I have strange problem with TBS6984 when I catch channels from transponder. I used Mumudvb and TeVii cards before getting TBS. With TeVii broadcasting work stable for days & months (except when the electricity down ).
But now I install the card in system with TeVii cards (PCI 464 & PCIe 470), plug in external power, write config for mumudvb and started it. Mumu says that the card is found, signal is lock and broadcast starts.
But then, about 3-5 hours later, I found, that the broadcasting from TBS is frozen: program runs, debug shows the clients, who wants watch channels, but nothing happened. Client connected with VLC player, but the stream is not found.

Then I have MumuDVB ver. 1.6.1, but now I get a new version 1.7 from git of project, but problem is still here. I don't know what I can do to solve that. Today I restart Mumu every 4 hours, it's an only one way that I found.

p.s. Sorry for bad English.

Hi Unit.
What about syslog when broadcasting is frozen? Is there something like errors or warnings?

Best regards.

Yes, in syslog & messages writes:

Hi Unit

From the Gigabyte P55-UD3L's information?What PCI-E type you are using with TBS6984? X1 or X16,
if you are using PCI-E x1 slot ,would you mind changing it to PCI-E X16 slot,
and have a test again.

Kind Regards

steven

[Unit]

TBS Card was installed in PCIe x16 slot from the beginning.

[Unit]

Now I try TBS with Getstream and things getting worse. Broadcast continued about 1-3 minutes and then the stream frozen. In logs I can't found anything new that I wrote earlier.
Maybe, I should trying TBS standalone without any other cards? Can other firmwares & drivers can prefer normal work mode of TBS?

[Unit]

Hello, guys.

My colleague told me that in the source driver is an option

linux-tbs-drivers/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c

static int dvb_powerdown_on_sleep = 0;
~~~
module_param(dvb_powerdown_on_sleep, int, 0644);
MODULE_PARM_DESC(dvb_powerdown_on_sleep, "0: do not power down, 1: turn LNB voltage off on sleep (default)");

that is enabled by default. His map also fell asleep, after some time. He rebuilt the driver without this option, and broadcasting has become stable. Why is it included by default?
However, I disable this option, only the extended broadcasting time from 2-3 hours to 9-10. After that, all the channels goes down. What else can I try to change the driver? Or is it to move the map on another machine and try it there?

Best regards.
